Please change the 737 Pressurisation System
In 17 years on type, I have witnessed 6 O2 mask drops in the airlines I have worked for, all pilot error. Helios passengers have paid the ultimate price, but the problem is that despite more rigourous checks now being made by the flight crew, the worlds 737 'time on type' drops like a stone (especially in Europe), this WILL happen again. This system is the achilles heal of the a/c and I would like Boeing to change to a more reliable/automated system. Please give me an indication on this thread if you think Boeing should change the system before more people are killed by this totally unintuitive design. Maybe you could post how many times you have seen or heard of a 737 dropping the masks thru pilot error. The cost of changing this system will be far cheaper than what will happen if their is another accident!
